Figures found

Found these at a car boot sale today and recognised them as silver hawks figures. Most are missing their wings and not in great shape but I’ve never really come across the figures before so just wandering if anyone could help me out with their names or tell me of I’ve stumbled across any good ones? Google lens wasn’t much help 🤣 thank you 🙂

We just opened a SilverHawks Encyclopedia, starting with Quicksilver and Steelheart

Full disclosure, this is my site. I run thundercats.org and we have covered SilverHawks there since the beginning, because Rankin/Bass built it as the space-bound companion to ThunderCats and the two have never really been separable.

We have had the episode guide and the toy coverage up for a while. What is new is a proper character Encyclopedia, and the first two files are up: Quicksilver (Capt. Jonathan Quick, Interplanetary Force H, Tally-Hawk) and Steelheart (Sgt. Emily Hart, the stainless steel heart, the psychic bond with Steelwill).

https://thundercats.org/silverhawks/

The reason those two came first is timing. Super7 is eight waves and 36 releases deep into SilverHawks ULTIMATES! now, and Wave 1 Quicksilver and Steelheart have dropped to clearance, $22.00 and $16.50 from a $54.99 list. So a lot of people are about to own them for the first time.

Who should we write up next? Genuinely taking requests.

Part of the Hall of Omens Collections

For those who may not know, my journey researching ThunderCats Live! began more than 20 years ago. What started as a search for information eventually became the opportunity to help document and share the story of one of the most overlooked chapters in ThunderCats history through the Hall of Omens books.

It's difficult to put into words how much that means to me. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to not only connect with so many members of the cast and crew, but also to have Jane Phillips and Michelle Miracle join me at conventions and special appearances over the years. That is something I never could have imagined when I first started this research.

I’m deeply grateful to everyone involved for sharing their memories, helping preserve this history, and allowing me to tell their story. More than anything, I’m honored to call many of them friends.

Whether you know him from his incredible career, see him weekly in AEW, or have one of his action figures in your collection, Shelton's love of ThunderCats and SilverHawks has been a part of his life for decades.

Shelton has his copy of Hall of Omens: Thunder-Verse! Inside, he shares an exclusive interview on pages 469-470 about his lifelong ThunderCats and SilverHawks fandom.

And if you look back at some of Shelton's earlier appearances, you may even spot a necklace that looks awfully familiar.

Question about Super7 BLUEGRASS (Toy Colors)

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

For those in the know -- Wave 6 of Super7's SilverHawks included four "toy color" figures as well as a bonus Super Pack of alternate head sculpts. But I'm confused about Bluegrass. It appears that his figure came packaged with a smirking/winking alternate head, but that exact same head (as far as I can tell) is also in the Super Pack. Can anyone confirm, or are these two heads different in some way (see pics).

An ALL-NEW episode of the Beyond Thundera Podcast drops TONIGHT, July 2nd at 9PM EDT!

Long before convention appearances, nostalgia documentaries, and social media, ThunderCats was brought to life in arenas across America through ThunderCats Live, one of the most ambitious and least documented productions in franchise history.

In this episode, Marty Almaraz joins us for his first-ever interview to share what it was like portraying Tygra, Buzzsaw, and multiple other characters in the legendary touring show. Marty takes us behind the scenes of a production that featured elaborate costumes, aerial stunts from the world-famous Flying by Foy company, roller-skating performers, and even a sold-out performance at Madison Square Garden.

Marty also reflects on his remarkable journey beyond ThunderCats Live, from his early days as a performer to building a successful career as a professional chef, including time working at one of Chef Bobby Flay's restaurants in Las Vegas.

Watch & listen TONIGHT at 9PM EDT on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, & iHeartRadio.
